The Witchfinder's Sacrifice

Something Wicked Has Returned . . .
A week has passed since Nate Watson defeated the evil warlock, Malleus Hodge, with the help of the witchfinder's serpent, a magickal, snake-shaped bracelet, once owned by Hodge himself. Unable to remove the ancient bracelet from his arm, Nate still struggles to control the serpent's immense powers.
As hellish monsters and once-dead creatures arrive, accompanied by impossible displays of magick, it becomes clear that Hodge is back with a plan: to unleash a twenty-first century witch hysteria upon the town that will pit neighbor against neighbor and family member against family member as the warlock stokes the flames of fear and paranoia to epic proportions.
With the help of his friends and a beautiful, mysterious visitor, Nate searches for a way to defeat Hodge for good--while coming to terms with loss, betrayal, and the fear that the serpent's dark magicks are beginning to influence his behavior in unexpected ways.
What Nate doesn't know is that a sinister pact drives Hodge. The warlock is desperate and will stop at nothing to fulfill a dark bargain several centuries in the making.
